Our own notion is that small farms we'll
cultivated are invariably the most profitable,
aud hence we firmly believe that ii many a
farmer would sell hall or two thirds of the
land he now occupies and poorly tills and
manages, and devote his entire time and Mt
tention to the care aud cultivation of the
remainder, lie would derive far moro profit

EHE F2l.slERs CONVENTION.

The gathering at Baton Rouge
last week evinced a good solicitude
for the farming interest of the State.
The members were evidently earnest
men, and felt the benefit of concerted |
action, while the difficulties attend
ing profitable agriculture of the
three staples, Cane, Cotton and
Rice, were recognized, there was
evidenced determination to over
come them, or, at least, to counterfeit
them, by adoption by new methods
of cultivation, aud gathering OF
crops, by proper use of fertilizers, to
be accompanied by more economical
mode of general management.
| Perhaps the proceedings OF the
Convention do not exhibit the same
perfectness Of discussion as like
gatherings in States long accus
toned to them. The subjects may
, not have been treated with the same
, thoroughness. They, however, had
q practical turn, and were full OF
/ suggestions to the farmers of the
!. State.
+ Followed, as it is to be, by tht
Interstate Agricultural Convention
to meet, on the 21st Of this month
at Lake Charles, there is every
: reason to expect revival through
' out Louisiana of farming industry
: The HERALD sees in this no siniste
2 motives OF politicians; nor any
reason to doubt the sincerity of tn
promoters of these Convex tons
st On the contrary, we view them a
: worthy Of encouragement, and IA
0 ~ furnishing one Of the factors of
90 90 coming prosperity Of our people.
re 1t is to he hoped, that advers
: criticism will, to no extent, decreaS
the interest and determination
those who, by their efforts, al
striving to better our agriculture
condition. We trust the intelligel
ie farmers of this parish will be repr
scented at Lake Charles.

dressed young man. giving the name of
John w. Armytage, of San Francisco,

to pass a bogus check for $500. Army
tage came to this city several days ago
with letters from John w. Mackey, the
California millionaire, which he pre-
sented to Black d Baird, real estate
dealers. He claimed to be an agent of
Mackey's and intimated that he had
been commissioned to purchase site
for cable station. This afternoon he
called again and asked them to cash
check for $500, as he was in need of
funds. The check was signed by Mae
key and was drawn on the Bank of Cal
ifornia. Black d Baird at once tele-
graphed to Mackey. and an answer was
received tonight saying that Armytage
was unknown. He was arrested at the

CHICAGO, Nov. 26.-It has been de-
cided not to take "Boodlers" Wasser-
man, ,Ochs, Wren, Varnell, Van Pelt and
Legden to Joliet tilluWednesday next.
This decision was reached this after
noon. Sheriff MatsOn intended to take
them down Monday morning, but the
bill of exceptions was not signed and
ready for filing till late this afternoon,
and Mr.. Grinnell agreed to ask the
sheriff TO postpone the removal till
Wednesday morning. The ''boodlers"
themselves and their counsel Joined in
the request. They beg that they be
allowed to remain awhile longer, and
they waive all rights to release from
Jail they might have on account of such
detention. The request was granted
and no action will probably be taken in
the appellate court till next week. The
extension of time till Wednesday gives
the appellate court ample time to de-
vote that degree of attention to the de-
tails of the record Which is necessary

her two children in Henderson county.
KY, has just reached this city. She
lived in small log cabin near Della
ware. Wednesday night, t,upOn retiring,
a small fire was burning in the woods
about the cabin, but they felt no alarm.
During the latter part of the night a
stiff wind arose, and the flames soon
surrounded the cabin of the sleepers.
When they awoke the whole front end
of the house, the only means of egreSs,
was mass of flames. Their screams,
when they realized their horrible and
helpless position, attracted some distant
neighbOrS, who arrived too late. as the
unfortunate woman and her children

Involves En0rmous Sums.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-. Nov. 26.-The valu-
alton of the Tootle estate, according to
the assessor, was $4,000. The county
board of equalization raised this to
100000, and the estate brought suit.
Judge Grubbs decided that the action of
the board was null on the ground that
'.sworn'' to do their duty, and that
therefore taxes can only be levied on
$4,000. As this board has raised the
valuation on a large amount of property
in Buchanan county, the increase in
many instances being from 1000 to 2,00C
per cent over the assessed value, this
decision may cost the county an enor-
nous sum. The loss in the Tootle es-
tate alone is S15.000
